Claude Code has cut the cost of background subagent status updates by 99%, making sessions roughly 5% more efficient in terms of usage limits. Previously, every 30 seconds, a subagent reprocessed its entire conversation history to update its status. Now, Haiku 5.5 generates these reports from short notes, while the subagent itself continues running on its original model. The result: roughly 6% more requests within the same usage limit. 😏 This optimization applies only to the CLI. The Claude Code app doesn't use subagent status lines.
